| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

Re: If a trojan horse is in quarantine....
So long as you don't restore it from quarantine, or run it from the quarantine location (possible with some antivirus software, but unlikely).

Re: If a trojan horse is in quarantine....
Your computer is never safe if you run Windows. Installing GNU/Linux (http:/gnewsense.org) will increase your safety by a factor of no less than 300%.

Re: If a trojan horse is in quarantine....
So make their accounts use KDE, rename the shortcuts for Firefox and Evolution to say Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, and they won't know the difference. Except for the greatness of GNU/Linux, but you can tell them that once they say "wow, the computer's been so fast lately!" or something.
If they do notice a difference, just tell them "Updated to the next service pack".

Prometheum likes to shamelessly promote 'GNU/Linux' like it's goin out of style. Don't worry bout it.

Haha, if you knew how much I've wanted to try this...
Never had an opportunity though. I'd like to try it at school.
Although the people there are rather ignorant...
I change the theme on WinXP once and 5 people crowded around me asking me 'Omg is that Linux?' and 'Dude are you haxing?'.
Sadly, I'm not joking. And two of them actually said that, word for word. |

It's really, really sad how that doesn't surprise me at all..
